Three men jailed for intent to supply £15,000 of class A drugs

We received information alerting us to a number of vehicles that had been seen in the Skegness area believed to be making multiple short journeys, which is in keeping with drugs supply.

These vehicles were subsequently located outside a caravan on an Ingoldmells caravan park.  They were being used by the men occupying the caravan in their supply of class A drugs (crack cocaine and heroin) to the streets of Skegness.

On 20 September at 2.39pm, officers from Lincolnshire Police’s Proactive team executed a warrant at Coastfields Holiday Village Caravan Park, with officers entering the caravan to find two of the suspects wearing rubber gloves, handling a large amount of class A drugs and around £1,000 in cash.

The five men from Bradford: Dylan Brandon (24), Shane Brandon (26), Adam Fawcett (23) Kayne Harrison (31), and Jardell Healey-Hunter (27) were each charged with two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A.

Following a four-day trial in January at Lincoln Crown Court, Kayne Harrison was found not guilty, and three of the other men pleaded guilty. On Monday 14 April they were sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court as follows:

• Dylan Brandon, 24, of Fraisthorpe Mead, Bradford – sentenced to three years and seven months in prison
• Shane Brandon, 26, of Poplarwood Gardens, Bradford – sentenced to four years and one month in prison 
• Adam Fawcett, 23, of St Mary Magdalenes Close, Bradford - sentenced to four years and six months in prison 
• Jardell Healey-Hunter, 27, of Greenwood Avenue, Bradford, failed to appear in court and was found guilty in his absence.  He was sentenced to four years in prison. There is a warrant out for his arrest. 

Det Insp Kara Nicholson of East Lindsey CID said: “We are firmly committed to bringing County Lines and drug supply offenders to justice. This is significantly aided by the valuable information provided by community members, which enables us to effectively target the most problematic areas. We know how drug supply can result in crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour which impacts our coastal communities and beyond, so this information greatly compliments the work of our Intelligence operations and Neighbourhood Policing Teams to monitor and decisively disrupt their criminal networks.

“We continue in our fight for saving lives, dignity, and for the safety of all our residents and visitors.”

“We stand firm in our continued commitment to make Skegness a welcoming and safe place to live, work and visit.”
